Access2 Control Bar
Fabric:- The Access2 is made from Ozone 40D Rip-Stop Nylon fabric with an Edelrid SK 75 Dyneema (same as Spectra) Bridle.
Flying Lines:- Access2 kites come complete with De-Power Carbon Control Bar with leash-less re-ride safety system, pre-stretched Dyneema (same as Spectra) flying lines and detailed user manual. Line sets are 25m (82 feet approx.) long and 180kg for 2.0 and 4.0 and 300kg for 6.0, 8.0 and 10.0. They are color-coded for easy set-up. The Access2 can also be flown in non De-Power mode with safety leash for entry level fliers. The De-Power feature changes the kites angle of attack, effectively controlling its speed and power output.

As with all sports equipment exposed to natural elements such as wind, sea water, dust, sand and sunlight, life expectancy varies. With heavy use in these conditions, Access kites can be expected to remain operationally effective for a minimum of 2 years. Of course, with moderate use and care, this time period can be lengthened considerably. To optimize performance, it is suggested that equipment be updated and/or replaced routinely.


SnowKiting in the mountains The Access2 is the perfect kite for beginner to intermediate riders looking for a de-powerable ram-air 'foil for land and snow. The great handling, solid stable flight and safety features make the Access2 ideal for backcountry SnowKiting and Kite LandBoarding. Smaller sizes are intended for strong winds and the larger sizes for light wind conditions, though the operating range of each Access2 will largely depend on the flyers skill level with this type of kite. Among the many Access2 features are auto-stable aerofoil profile, de-power speed system, simple launch without assistance, leash less re-ride safety system, high quality re-inforced construction, Velcro dirt-outs for debris removal and more . . .

Getting started:- When Traction Kiting, select a size that fits your ability and prevailing wind conditions. No matter what type of kite you use for Kite Traction, there are a number of things to remember when selecting the best size to start with. Your choice will depend on the Surface; (Skis on snow or ice, Kite Buggy on soft or hard sand, grass or hard ground), the Wind Speed, Flyer Skill and Experience and Flyer Weight. Whether the flyer is a novice or has a lot of Traction Kiting experience, the best choice is the smallest kite that will produce enough power to move. It is essential not to be overpowered, not just because it's obviously safer, but upwind travel will be easier and less power is easier to manage. A mid-size kite is ideal to get familiar with control on solid ground in a modest steady wind. Once you are confident that you can control the kite, then progress to Skis, SnowBoard or Land Board.


Kite LandBoarding sequence

These kites produce considerable pull and are not suitable for inexperienced flyers. Always learn to control the kites before attempting kite traction activities. Sensible saftey precautions should be followed when flying these kites and protective clothing, especially sturdy shoes and a helmet should always be worn when using them for traction. Read instructions and safety warnings in with every kite.
